This is the only publication to focus on transatlantic disputes involving England and the United States. Despite their common legal heritage, there are fundamental differences between the processes of dispute resolution in each of the two countries. This work elucidates those differences so that those engaged in transatlantic business understand in advance the risks of litigation in the other country. Each chapter is co-written by an English attorney and a United States lawyer, ensuring that legal and practical considerations are addressed from both perspectives. This essential desktop reference answers such questions as: · In what circumstances can a party be subject to jurisdiction in England or the United States? · If a dispute is being litigated in the courts of one country, but evidence is located in another, what are the procedures for obtaining evidence for use in the foreign court? · How can one enforce a judgment obtained in England in the United States, and vice versa? · What strategies can a party use in the event of parallel proceedings in both England and the United States?

This pioneering text presents, in one single volume, the history of the federal courts since their establishment in 1789 and the changes that have occurred in the 200 years since. The author examines the historical context from which the federal court system grew and explores the expansion of the court system in response to procedural, conceptual, and historical influences. The evolution of the different types of federal courts through time is of particular focus, along with the growth of the jurisdiction of the federal courts and the changes to the procedure before the Supreme Court over time. To understand judicial history, it is important to appreciate the nuances of procedure and legal terminology at a particular time. For this reason, the author adheres to the use of the terms of law and procedure understood during the period under discussion. For example, a term such as 'circuit court' is used in its context as a trial court prior to 1911 and again in the context of today's "Circuit Court of Appeals." Specific chapters include: · The Prelude to the Establishment · Federal Courts Under the Articles of Confederation · The Establishment of the Federal Courts · The Organization of the Circuits · Judicial Legislation · Growth of Federal Jurisdiction · Growth of Federal Criminal Jurisdiction · Civil Procedure in the Federal Courts · Bankruptcy in American Law · Criminal Procedure in the Federal Courts · Development of the Appellate Review · Procedure Before the United States Supreme Court · Federal Judges · Courts in the District of Columbia

Treaty Interpretation addresses two important constitutional questions, whether the United States should follow the normal international legal standard in treaty interpretation rooted in the intent of the treaty parties or a new "dual'" standard of interpretation rooted in the intent of the Senate, and whether the Senate ever has constitutional authority to attach "domestic conditions" to treaties. This book has emerged from the work of the author as a consultant to the Arms Control Agency in preparing a detailed study on the respective views of Judge Sofaer and Senator Nunn in the 1980s "broad-narrow" debate as to the correct interpretation of the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty with the Soviet Union. This debate and the subsequent revisions to the Re-statement (Third International Conference) demonstrate the effect that one individual can have on the U.S. foreign policy.   A glimpse of constitutional issues on treaty interpretations  Professor Moore wrote from a personal perspective, giving your students a chance to feel the very human tension of one of the greatest debates of our time. With Treaty Interpretation, you will let your students see the people who are behind today's foreign policy, face-to-face. This text illustrates a real world example of constitutional theory in practice. The separation of powers, as envisioned by our constitutional framers, is a constant struggle. A living example of the struggle to preserve a balance is demonstrated in this text as the distribution of power to interpret and apply international agreements.   Describes the corpus of international agreements   The author carefully traces these impacts, differentiates them, and surfaces the nearly invisible, but profoundly important, constitutional issues in this "great debate."   A must-have for those interested in constitutional treaty laws   This book is a must for those concerned with treaty issues and constitutional law. This is an important reading for basic international law courses.   About the Author   John Norton Moore is one of the best-known international lawyers in the world. His writings on international law and constitutional dimensions of foreign policy have been read literally around the world. Among seven presidential appointments, most recently Professor Moore served for two terms as the Senate-Confirmed Chairman of the Board of Directors of the United States Institute of Peace. He has written and testified extensively on the constitutional issues and the conduct of United States foreign policy. He has also testified at Senate hearings on executive agreements and treaty terminations.
